Write sorted concatenation of all FILE(s) to standard output.
and a bit farther down:
With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.
I agree that examples would be nice.

You sure swap is on primary fdisk partition 4, and not extended
partition 1 (aka s5) ? I think Linux will create an extended partition
rather than use up all four primaries.

.nfs# until the last process closes the file, and then they delete
it. If you've got unlinked files held open, it's got to be on the

If your backend storage is a RAID with lots of disks, and your last

probably help. Although if you're hitting a kernel bottleneck (locking

No, it doesn't; ldconfig is used by the run-time linker (ld-elf.so.1),
not the compile-time linker (ld, usually via gcc). What's missing is a

good idea: ports know where their dependencies live :)

Programs exhibiting weird behaviour under any of those three cases are
